Dads Should Demonstrate Healthy Emotions

dads-should-demonstrate-healthy-emotions

We know that fathers are very important role models for their children, and this is very true when it comes to emotions. Our children will be asked to think, react, and implement some emotional-related behavior, such as appropriately displaying anger in a variety of situations. Our children are not only discovering their identities, but they must also deal with peer pressure, fights, teasing, bullying, cheating, lying, dating, sex, and a variety of other issues.

As a result, fathers and father figures must model healthy emotions in everyday situations at home, as well as assist children in understanding, sharing, identifying, and displaying all types of emotions in a healthy manner. Here are some positive steps they can learn from our fatherhood training programs.

  • Examine and implement ways you can lead your family spiritually.
  • Recognize what makes you angry and learn how to calm yourself down.
  • Take slow, deep breaths to help you get more oxygen in your lungs and your brain. This will help you think more clearly and will slow down a negative or overly positive reaction. Think first, and don’t react until you are calm.
  • If you cannot control your anger and negative behavior, get help from a professional or a spiritual pastor.
  • Realize that you are not the only one who is going through some changes or hardships.

The journey of a father is never an easy one. As such, Fathers 4 Progress Inc. offers parenting programs in Bronx, New York, to help dads become better role models for their children.
